William Harvey by Archibald Malloch is a biography of the 17th-century English physician who is credited with discovering the circulation of blood in the human body. The book traces Harvey's life from his childhood in Folkestone to his education at Cambridge and Padua, where he studied under the renowned anatomist Fabricius. Malloch explores Harvey's groundbreaking research and the controversy it stirred up among his peers, as well as his personal life and relationships. The book also delves into the historical context of Harvey's work, including the prevailing medical theories of the time and the political and religious upheaval of the English Civil War. Overall, William Harvey offers a comprehensive portrait of a pioneering figure in the history of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
